WACA UPDATE Date Change for the 39th AGA The organizing committee of Formula 1 recently announced that the Shanghai Grand Prix will be held over the weekend of 7/8 October 2006. This means that the AGA hotel will be charging full rack rates from 5 October so a decision has been made by the WACA Executive Committee to start the AGA one day earlier. The new dates for the 39th AGA to be held in Shanghai, China, will, therefore, be from 30 September to 5 October 2006. Secretary General, Julian Chau, says that the content of the AGA remains unchanged and he will be revising the program schedule and have it posted on WACA's Web site as soon as possible. He also advises that traveling on standby to Shanghai will not be affected by the Grand Prix as spectators will not be arriving until the AGA is over and interliners will be departing before the Grand Prix has taken place.
Registrations Julian also reports that there are now 170 interliners registered for the AGA. Keith Miller / Manager WACA Headquarters |
